BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Technical Field

The present invention relates to novel derivatives of oxazolidinone,preparation methods of the same, and pharmaceutical compositionscomprising the same for use in an antibiotic.

Description of the Related Art

Used as orally administrable antibacterial agents, oxazolidinonecompounds are not products of fermentation, but artificially synthesizedones, and various structures of their derivatives are known. Forinstance, 3-phenyl-2-oxazolidinone derivatives having one or twosubstituents are stated in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,948,801, 4,461,773,4,340,606, 4,476,136, 4,250,318 and 4,128,654. 3-[(Monosubstituted)phenyl]-2-oxazolidinone derivatives of Formula 2 are disclosed in EP0312000, J. Med. Chem. 32, 1673 (1989), J. Med. Chem. 33, 2569 (1990),Tetrahedron, 45, 123 (1989), etc.

Pharmacia & Upjohn developed oxazolidinone derivatives of Formulas 3 and4 (WO 93/23384, WO 95/14684 and WO 95/07271). Having succeeded ingaining the approval of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ofU.S.A., the oxazolidinone derivative of Formula 3, by the name of‘Zyvox’, has come into the market. However, these conventional syntheticoxazolidinone compounds were found to suffer from the disadvantage ofshowing antibacterial activity against a narrow spectrum of bacteria,being toxic to humans, and being poor in therapeutic activity in vivo.Zyvox may be used restrictively as injection since the solubility ofZyvox against water is inadequate for use in injection, which is about 3mg/ml.

Further, WO 93/09103 discloses derivatives of phenyl oxazolidinone,substituted with heterocyclics such as thiazole, indole, oxazole andquinole, as well as pyridine, at position 4 of the phenyl ring. However,these derivatives of oxazolidinone are known as providing insufficientmedicinal effects because the heterocyclics bear simple substituentssuch as alkyl or amino groups.

In WO 01/94342, synthesizing derivatives of phenyl oxazolidinone, havingwith pyridine or derivatives of phenyl at position 4 of the phenyl ringwas described. The compounds synthesized are potent in inhibitoryactivity against a broad spectrum of bacteria and are also superiorantibiotic to Zyvox. However, The compounds are unable to be formulatedas injection because solubility of the same is under 30 μg/ml.

Accordingly, the intensive and thorough research on oxazolidinonederivatives, conducted by the present inventors aiming to overcome theabove problems encountered in prior arts, resulted in the findingoxazolidinone derivatives as well as prodrugs thereof, wherein theprodrugs are prepared by reacting amino acid or phosphate with theoxazolidinone derivatives having hydroxyl group. Further, salts of theoxazolidinone derivatives prodruged were easily synthesized by usingamine group of amino acid of the same to synthesize organic acid orinorganic acid and by using a hydroxyl group of phosphate and oneselected from sodium and calcium. The oxazolidinone derivatives haveexcellent effects on antibiotic activity and the solubility of the sameis greatly enhanced.

In Table 1, ‘Ac’ represents acetyl and ‘TfOH’ refers to trifluoroaceticacid.

Further, the present invention provides a method of preparing thederivatives of oxazolidinone corresponding to Formula 1, as shown inScheme 1 is defined below.

In the Scheme 1, Z represents C₁₋₄ alkyl group, X, R₁, R₁′, R₂, R₃ andR₄ are as defined in Formula 1 and Y represents halogen.

The method of preparing the derivatives of oxazolidinone according tothe present invention comprises:

-   -   substituting a halogen atom for a hydrogen atom on phenyl of a        derivative (II) of hydroxymethyloxazolidinone thereby to form a        derivative (III)(Step 1);    -   substituting stannyl for a halogen atom (Y) of the        derivative (III) to form a derivative (IV)(Step 2);    -   reacting the derivative (IV) with pyridine or phenyl derivative        that is substituted to bromine or iodine to form a        derivative (V) of oxazolidinone having pyridine ring or phenyl        ring (Step 3); and    -   reacting the derivative (V) with amino acid having a protecting        group and then with acid thereby to eliminate the protecting        group and to form salts of the compounds corresponding to        Formula 1, or subjecting the derivative (V) to react with        phosphate and then with metallic salt thereby to form salts of        the compounds corresponding to Formula 1 (Step 4).

In the Step 1, the derivative (II) of hydroxymethyloxazolidinone may besynthesized by conventional methods. For example, a method may comprisesubstituting an amino group of anilin for a benzyloxycarbonyl group andreacting a substituted compound with glycidylbutylate in a state ofstrong bases thereby to form the derivative (II). The state may beprepared by adding a strong base; preferably the strong base may includen-butyllitium, sec-butyllitium, tert-butyllitium, etc., more preferablyn-butyllitium. Further, it is preferable to subject the method at atemperature of about −78° C. in liquid nitrogen.

The Step 1 is subjected to substitute a hydrogen atom of phenyl group ofthe derivative (II) for a halogen atom, preferably for an iodine atom.When the hydrogen atom is substituted for the iodine atom, thesubstituted reaction may be subjected preferably by adding iodinemonochloride (ICI) or trifluoroacetic acid silver salt (CF₃COOAg) andadding iodine at room temperature.

The Step 2 is subjected the derivative (III) to react withhexamethylditin, hexabutylditin or tributyltin hydride by adding acatalyst of palladium to form the derivative (IV) of which iodine atomis substituted for a trimethylstannyl group or a tributylstannyl group.The catalyst of palladium may comprise dichlorobistriphenylphosphinepalladium (II), tetrakistriphenylphosphine palladium (0), etc. It ispreferred to carry out the Step 2 in a solvent of 1,4-dioxan,dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofuran, 1-methyl-2-pyrolidone, etc. at atemperature of about 90 to 150° C.

The Step 3 is carried out by reacting the derivative (IV) with acompound having hetero ring on phenyl or pyridine ring thereby to formthe derivative (V). A catalyst of palladium added in the Step 3 may beidentical to that of palladium in Step 2. It is preferred to carry outthe Step 3 in a solvent of dimethylformamide, 1-methyl-2-pyrolidone,etc. at a temperature of about 100 to 120° C. .

The Step 4 is performed by reacting the derivative (V) with amino acidthat is protecting an amino group with t-butyloxycarbonyl,dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and 4-dimethylaminopyridine thereby to form thederivative (I) having amino group. The amino acid may include alanine,glycine, proline, isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine, β-alanine, valine,etc. A solvent comprises dimethylformamide, 1-methyl-2-pyrolidone, etc.Preferably, a reaction by adding the derivative (V) with amino acid iscarried out by stirring for about 5 hours above at room temperature.

A mixture of the derivative (V) and amino acid reacts to a strong acidsuch as trifluoroacetic acid, etc. to eliminate a protecting group. Thesolvent is removed from the mixture and the mixture is crystallizedthereby to provide a salt of the derivative of oxazolidinonecorresponding to Formula 1. Preferably, a reaction by adding thederivative (V) with amino acid is carried out by stirring for about 2hours above at room temperature.

The salt of the derivative of formula 1, prepared by using amino acid atposition R₃ or R₄, in a method known similarly to the above method, maybe gained.(S)-3-(4-trimethylstannyl-3-fluorophenyl)-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinylmethylacetamide as a starting material in the method is known and the methodis described in WO0194342.

Further, a phosphate metallic salt of the derivative (I) may be formedby adding sodiummethoxide, sodium hydroxide, etc. to a composition in asolvent such as methanol, ethanol etc., the composition is prepared bydissolving the derivative (V) in trimethylphosphate ortriethylphosphate, adding phosphorous oxy chloride and stirring forabout 12 hours at room temperature. The phosphate metallic salt may beproduced by reacting the derivative (V) with tetrazole and derivates ofamidite at room temperature, oxidizing a reacted compound, synthesizinga derivative of alkylphosphate, eliminating alkyl group using a strongacid thereby to form a derivative of phosphate acid, and converting thederivative of phosphate acid into the phosphate metallic salt by theabove-mentioned method.

Further, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical compositioncomprising the derivatives of oxazolidinone corresponding to Formula 1for use in an antibiotic.

The oxazolidinone derivatives of the present invention show inhibitoryactivity against a broad spectrum of bacteria, against methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin resistantEnterococci (VRE) and have excellent relatively antibiotic activity witha relatively low concentration thereof or in vivo.

Further, the derivatives of the present invention may exert potentantibacterial activity versus various human and animal pathogens,including Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococi, Enterococci andStreptococi, anaerobic microorganisms such as Bacteroides andClostridia, and acid-resistant microorganisms such as Mycobacteriumtuberculosis and Mycobacterium avium.

The derivatives of oxazolidinone, having hydroxyl, are reacted withamino acid or phosphate to form prodrugs thereof. The prodrugs havesuperior solubility to compounds that are not formed as prodrugs: thesolubility of the prodrugs represents above 28 mg/ml and the solubilityof the compound 10 mg/ml (compound 10).
